Whyever did they remove the option to post photos from your computer? Change for changes sake, IMO. Change is fine when it's an improvement. I don't see this as an improvement.

I've written again to FMAdmin on this with no reply. I've also written to a couple of mods who look like they've fielded the same issue in the past but no luck there either. Lastly I've asked a VBulletin expert what a non-coder with admin rights can do to get this sorted, regretabbly answer = nothing, you have to be a coder. Sorry

Not down to you AF.

Not music, but certainly a ‘gig’…went to see Ben Elton last night at Sheffield City Hall.
Nice venue and an excellent performance from old (65 now) ‘Motormouth’.
Bold, typically outspoken, intelligent, surprisingly dark at times but very, very funny.

I always thought he should tour with a show called "the untidy colours of Ben Elton"

Think you’d have enjoyed it. Coincidentally and quite bravely, given the audience was 95% ‘baby boomers’, he spent no little time talking about Dignitas and how much he admires the Dutch version of it. At the risk of briefly going off topic, and not wishing to be maudlin, is that really a much more available and more openly considered option over there?

There are lots of hoops to jump through but it's something that does happen rather more often than a blue moon. Recently, there was a married couple who both euthanised, hand in hand. There's no age limit. It's all down to provably unbearable physical and/or mental issues. Not a low bar and from first asking it can take years to get to the actual needle.

Thanks…maybe not quite as well thought through as he implied then, but anyone who can actually make people, especially those of a certain age, laugh at the subjects of aging and euthanasia has my vote.

That explains why you voted fer Starmer the in, he's made elderly people more likely to embrace euthanasia as an option

Sad to report the death of a true soul disciple, who raged against the dying of the soul light as rap and hip hop took hold. RIP Frankie Beverley of Maze. Here’s the song I asked to be played just about every time I went The Pink Coconut or Paradise, almost always met with the response £@@@ off, but to each their own

Here's two of my favourites of his:

Frankie Beverly & The Butlers - If That's What You Wanted. An absolute belting Northern Soul classic that still fills the floor today

Frankie Beverly's Raw Soul – Tomorrow May Not Be Your Day. Written by Taj Mahal. One that never got many plays although I always get a good response when I put it on the decks.
